PIC tIdlnpeu through lne uuSu 10 Ridge
wood Park to-day to see the Broolziyns
defeat the Louisville club, but they
were doomed to disappointment, for the
tables were turned, and the Louisvilles
won easily, hitting Porter when and
where they liked. Brooklyn played
new short stop, Otterson. He is young
and inexperienced, but he played fairly
well. To-day's game was the first time
he has faced a pitcher like Hecker. and
he could not hit him. White made
ludicrous error in the first inning. Nc
Clellan was on first, and started to see
ond on McTamany'S grounder, which
White had got. White started to make
a double play, but changed his mind
and threw to Mack, who ducked his
head, thinking some one else was be-
hind him. Mack had left the base when
White started in to make the double.
TORY made three-bagger in the
second inning, and made run
pretty bunt by Peoples. In the
third inning Terry made another three
bagger, but after that he subsidized. In
the second inning Browning hit liner
over McCiellan'S head and Swartwood,
who got it, was so slow i'll handling it
that Browning went to second. ''That
will just cost him SO Dill," said
Manager Byrne, savagely. He relented,
however, when the big right fielder
made a three-bagger in the next inning.
The Br0OklynS were ahead till the fifth
inning. when the visitors got on to Por-
ter and hit him for five runs. McQuade
umpired the game to the satisfaction of
all. Score:

A BURIESQUE.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The game that
the st. Louis and Metropolitans played
at Weehawken, n. j.. to-day was a post
poned game. 1t is a pity that it was not
postponed even further, for it resulted
in burlesque on base ball. There were
between 1900 and $4,000 spectators at
Monitor Park and not policeman, and
the crowd used the field as much as the
players. When the game opened the
mob had invaded the playing ground,
and neither first nor third base could be
seen from the puny grand stand that
had peen boarded together behind the
plate. The insurgents were little less
aggressive all around the field. An inn-
ing was played under these conditions,
and Umpire Ferguson said that no base
ball could be played with such sur
rOundings. The st. Louis men got in
their carriages and drove about the
grounds asking the gang to ''please dis
perse." But the gang didn't. Then
one of the horses that had brought the
Browns from New York was detached
from one of the carriages and ridden
into the crowd Oh all sides, and with
little more effect. After half an hour of
that kind of business. Ferguson refused
Battin was called to fill his place. The
men then went ahead for five
more innings, when darkness,
brought on early by the tress that
surround the field, made a Stoppage
necessary. The reporters had to sit in
the sitting grand stand, where no effort
was made by the authorities to prevent
people from standing in front of them.
Therefore an accurate score could not
be kept. 1t was miserable game any
how, no batter being allowed more than
a single base on any hit that went into
OF past the crowd. There were plenty
of those. The only brilliant play was
by Robinson, who stopped hot grounder
from Jones and threw him out in the
third inning. In the fourth O'Neill let
his bat slip from his hand as he missed
a pitched ball, and the stick hit Welch,
who was standing behind O'Neill, full
in the face, knocking him insensible for
a moment. st. Louis played with eight
men after that. Score:
